How to get prepared for results day

TYNE AND WEAR, U.K. - Aug. 4, 2020 - PRLog -- For results day, you need to be prepared for all outcomes. If you do need to enter Clearing for whatever reason, it can get a bit chaotic, so it is best to get everything sorted before then.

If you don't get the grades you need, have a back-up plan. Research other courses and universities and have something to fall back on if this unfortunately happens.

Find out which courses you can get onto through Clearing if you don't make your firm and insurance choices. Put together all the numbers you may need to call, and the conditions needed to get onto the course.

Make sure you have all the information you need around the course, the university, the city, and more. Look into things like accommodation, what opportunities your course offers, and what there is to do in the city.

Doing all this will allow you to make an informed decision if you don't meet the entry requirements for your firm and insurance choices on 13^th August 2020.

Ensure you have to hand whatever documents you need when calling university hotlines. The things you will need will be:

·         Your UCAS number

·         Clearing hotline number

·         Login details for UCAS Track

·         Your A-Level and GCSE grades

This will make it a lot easier and less stressful when going through the Clearing process. It wouldn't harm to print off your personal statement again and have that handy in case you get asked any questions by the hotline operator.

When making calls to Clearing hotlines, you will need to know exactly what to say. First off, you will need to outline your issue. Are you changing courses because you did better than expected? Did you not meet your entry requirements? After that, have your details ready to tell the operator so they can understand your situation and find you on their system. The operator will guide you through the process and ask for everything they need, but it is best to have everything ready to go to avoid unnecessary stress.
